Jade Goody's story to be made into opera

Playwright Afsaneh Gray, who is helming the project, said she took three years writing the piece, which charts Goody's rise from an unknown to her death in 2009, reported a leading daily. "Everyone has an opinion about her. The two women I was working with were coming in every day with a magazine and they really took opposing ideas of her." Gray was inspired to write the story after working as a medical secretary when Goody first became ill with cervical cancer. The show will hit theatres next year.
